A Winter's Night

These days, I do not miss the winter, but I have fond memories of peaceful, snowy nights with bright stars in a clear dark sky.

South for the Winter

Just like the little rubber duck drifted South in my story, I have also happily migrated to warmer climates for the winter.

Happy 2013!

May there be peace for children everywhere

Some people are very good at finding calming words during unsettled times. I would like to add to the chorus with one of my pictures.

May there be peace for children everywhere. May there be peace for all.

Happy December to all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A weekend and 10 years

We've just returned to Florida after a weekend of festivities marking the 10th anniversary of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. More than 1,200 friends and visitors came to the Museum over the course of the weekend including publishers from as far away as Germany and Korea. We feel so proud of the Museum and its wonderful staff and all of the illustrators who came and we thank you all for making this dream of ours a reality. We hope it will be a place where the picture book will be enjoyed and studied for many years to come.
